I’m very glad about this 3D printer. The quality of the first print with the recommended settings was very impressive, and it can be improved with some printed updates and a lot of patience. The machine is easy to assemble following the YouTube videos, and the build quality is fine for the price. I chose the Anet A6 instead of the A8 because it’s a little bit smaller and seems to be more robust, also I found that the selector knob it’s more helpful than the buttons. I believe that the print quality on both machines is similar, and what really matters in achieving a great print quality depends on your patience and ability to calibrate the machine. If you don’t care about the esthetic and the selector knob I would recommend the cheapest one.

One of the Z couplings is not properly made and it bends a little the Z rod, but it doesn’t seem to affect too much the print quality, nevertheless, it can be replaced for a low price. I have read a lot of people saying that the power supply is weak and gets warm for long print times, however, I haven’t got any problems yet, printing under 3 hours.

Great product for such low price - especially during Black Friday's sale :)

I recommend this product for anyone who like to assemble things, took me a while to put it all together. It comes will all tools needed to assemble it (one minus - I've received small Philips screwdriver broken as on photo, but I've got bunch on them at home so no harm done) and package is well packed, it received some damage during transport yet there are no damage to any of printer parts. It comes with 0.5 kg of filament to do some test prints and this is more than other deals offer - that's why I've ordered this product.It is like Ikea furniture, only without printed instruction on how to assemble, yet there are many YT videos how to do it. Official videos mistakes X & Y axis motor, Y is attached to main frame to move hot bed. I also recommend to remove ugly protective film from frame part - looks much more sexy in black but it's little electrostatic and attracts styrofoam parts from packaging.This product test yours engineering skills and it is great project for you and your kids, you can further improve it to have more precise prints. And there is also another GREAT DEAL with this purchase!!! I've received for free: 10 pieces of micro-condoms!!! please see picture. Great deal but they are little too small for me ;-)Pictures does not show frame parts, please check video of assembled product (please note I've removed protective film from frame parts, this is first test print and it is not fully assembled).

The problems that you have with such a device in the beginning, are not just on the device itself lead back. I had to learn everything first. I have tried many different settings. Now I get excellent prints. If you buy an Anet A6 you have to fix one or the other error in the design still. However, this printer has a very large fan base. Improvements can be found on various platforms and also on the Internet search engines. With a little technical understanding and peace, the assembly succeeds relatively quickly. Commissioning was very easy. It's my first 3D printer and I'm really happy with it. The Anet A6 is a very good device to enter this hobby.

You should plan a silenced box from the beginning. The Anet A6 is not overly loud. However, the noise at long prints can be annoying. Another problem is the already assembled extruder. Here it is no mistake to disassemble this again and tighten all screws again. I had received a large pressure incorrectly because at some point simply no filament was fed. That is very annoying. The slot for the SD card is hard to reach. Here it helps to get an extension. Overall, the A6 but for the price range is a really good entry-level device. I am happy.

Printer was received in two working days after payment. Kit was in a good quality and with all parts. No missing parts inside.

Assembling of this printers was around 8 hours. After assembling I did a short test to test assembling and printer mechanical parts. All was OK. After this a tried calibret the printer. After around two hours aI was able to do test print. The first print was the cube 20 x 20 x 20 mm. The cube was in a excelent quality. No print problems.

Next print was an printer update. New nuts for hotbed, new cooling for head, filament support parts and some other tools for print.

I have ordered some safe updates (external MOSFET, SD Card reader, power connection) I will see, if this updates improve the printer.

In this price level is realy good product. Is not professinal printer, however after some updates it could be useful helper with my project. And for first steps with 3D print it could be a good start.

Disadvantages:

- not good product for who is not familiar with electronics and mechanics assembling - plastic bearings covers for hotbed (before version has aluminum covers - really big backlash on extruder bearings, improving could be a new bearings.

The Anet A6 has exceeded my expectations. Maybe because I found assembling the kit to be as enjoyable as using the printer. It's print quality and reliability has been astounding. Other than normal adjustments like bed leveling, the printer has worked perfectly, and I really expected to have to do more to calibrate the printer. After a few calibration cubes, I printed a rather large model that had high infill and high quality, and it was a marathon print, over 16 hours, and it worked perfectly. For me, this printer is really one where I can go to work, or go to bed and make some very ambitious prints with, and have confidence it will be done correctly while I'm gone.

And I do believe the rotary dial encoder makes going through the menus much quicker and easier than the button pad of the A8. And the new arrangement the A6 has for the Z-lifter and X-axis with it's parallel bars vs. the older vertical bars gives you a few extra centimeters of vertical print space.

I would recommend this printer to anyone, even an experienced 3D printer user who already has other printers, and would like to add more printing capacity without blowing their budget.

Suggestion

Very very minor 'cons" so far. A few of the screws were not threaded correctly and they would bind in the nuts, but you get plenty of spares and I didn't come anywhere close to running out.

There was an order backlog because the Anet A8 and A6 are so popular, however Gearbest communicated with me, and I was always informed. And as it would turn out, the delay was actually much shorter than expected. My only real "problem" is that my children want me to print so many things, I may have to buy another A6 just so I can print the things I want.

The PROS are: 1. Best value for home printer I have found. 2. Easy to build and nice DIY project even though the instruction videos are out of date as some parts are different than in the video. 3.I am a 3d printing noob and have been able to print out my own designed keyholder with logo without any problems other than innitial setup teething problems.

Only thing I dislike is that there is no physical on and of switch on the unit but thats another pro for me as thats on my to do list on my next DIY uprade list for the printer.

This printer is also smaller and more compact than other more bulkier printers that have the same bed size which is for me a huge plus point.

I would recommend any newby 3d print enthusiast to purchase this item.,,

I have attached fotos of my upgrades done and printed with the printer with fully assembled picture and a picture of some prints I did and then my review video on youtube.

Suggestion

The biggest con is the wing nuts used for the heat bed leveling is utter garbage a design flaw.. hence the printing community has made screw caps that work 100% better than the wing nuts... I have cut myself so many times on the side of the heatbed and H-plate that the screws were the 1st print I did after my 1st successful test print.

Great build quality, Anet videos on YouTube to help with the build, solid construction, excellent community on Facebook, many upgrades available on Thingiverse.com, includes software needed to start printing right away. The shipping was very quick, GearBest has excellent customer service. This is the second purchase I make from GearBest and I am very pleased with them. I was unsure the first time I ordered, but they have surpassed my expectations and offer great service.

I highly recommend this printer to anyone looking for a first 3D printer as it offers everything needed at a very good price.

Suggestion

The power supply could be higher amperage output, but the included one does not cause any issues. The "how to" video on YouTube from Anet has a few errors in it: - The H support for the hotbed should be flipped as compared to the video, they have it upside down. - In some of the steps it shows the screw size to be used, but it indicates the incorrect size. It is further along in the video so it is not a big deal and it is simple enough to figure out which screw to use. - The tape on the hotbed offers far to much adhesion. If I had known I would have changed it out for blue painter's tape immediately, but this is a minor thing and not really a reason to not buy the printer.

- Nice appearance, good Quality - Everything you need for 3d printing is included - 20A power supply

The assembly takes about 3-6 hours and runs without problems. Ball bearings, round shafts, hotbed everything is just and of good quality. A layer of crepe tape is applied to the hotbed, which has very good adhesion. A 0.5 Kg coil of PLA filament in transparent was also included. On the enclosed 16GB micro SD card are a detailed guide to the setup, problem handling, and calibrating the printer as PDF (in English and Chinese). It also contains a few sample prints as GCODE files that can be printed directly. The power supply is from the year 2017 and seems to be stronger against now. It has 20A and is operated only warm, but not hot. All in all, at the price unbeatable.

Suggestion

Unfortunately, the really good troubleshooting PDF is translated into English, however, the side issues are no longer correct and there are missing parts of the picture or the text.

The included Cura version (14.07) and the associated Ini file is out of date. However, you can download the latest version online. Caution, the newer version has a smaller version number (at the moment (25.04.2016) the version 2.5 is the latest, https://ultimaker.com/en/products/cura-software/list). The existing config file is unfortunately not compatible with the new version and can not be loaded here. You have to adjust everything manually or a corresponding file on the Internet.
